165. At Shiprock, New Mexico, a perennially powerful girls' high school basketball team has become a path to college for some and a source of pride for a community where the household incomes of 49 percent of them are below the poverty level.

(A)  where the household incomes of 49 percent of them are

(B)   where they have 49 percent of the household incomes

(C)  where 49 percent of the household incomes are

(D)  which has 49 percent of the household incomes

(E)   in which 49 percent of them have household incomes

1是怎么翻译,2是In addition, the wording of both A and E confuses the percentage of community residents (the implied referent of them) with the percentage of households, not the same thing at all (逻辑意思表达的很细微之处),这里没看懂,怎么细微的啊

新问一个问题，有关单复数的，可能有点弱。。。。就是：

165. At Shiprock, New Mexico, a perennially powerful girls' high school basketball team has become a path to college for some and a source of pride for a community where the household incomes of 49 percent of them are below the poverty level.

(A) where the household incomes of 49 percent of them are

(B) where they have 49 percent of the household incomes

(C) where 49 percent of the household incomes are

为什么are是用复数，而不是用is呢？？难道A OF B结构单复数要看中心词？？？？还是只看后面？？或者只看前面？？

I think the main point is that a household income is associated with a household (or family), not resident(s). You can say my family has a household income of $60,000. But you CANNOT say I have a household income of $60,000. You know what I'm saying? Think about it.

The word them in (A) and (E) is ambiguous, because it can mean households or residents.

My two cents.. cheers!
